Zia ul Haq Biography - Pakistan's Greatest Hero or Villain

[Rusty]

having balls and being a terrible person are not mutually exclusive.

He did have balls to do so many things that normal leaders would not dare, but that also included imprisoning and torturing innocent people.

At the end of the day, no matter what he did, he was still a dictator and therefor bad for the country.

 

[Jungibaaz]

The worst there was in my opinion.

 

[American Pakistani]

No matter what his achievements, his policies divided the country massively. Had he not died, we would be watching another Lebanon or Yemen of South Asia.

Not to forget how he lost Siachen to Indians.

Btw, nuclear program was started by Bhutto.
F16s were given because US wanted to crush USSR.
High growth rate...more like higher dose of steroids. All growth was due to USAID to fight Soviets.

 

[El Sidd]

Any Zia hater can simply present their case by pointing out a time in history when Nation was that united.

Agreed ........ Heroin and Guns, Afghan terrorism, religious extremism, rishwat, police corruption,govt institution destroyed on top greatest gift of Nawaz Shareef .
And at the end when the job was done. Those who brought him in power send him back to his ultimate destiny.
But my country is totally destroyed. It will take time to recover from those deep wounds and scars of the past.

You were happy about Iran to care about the consequences

Only leader Pakistan had after Quaid-e-Azam who had balls of steel. Pakistan, since, after his death is being ruled by corrupts/cowards/traitors mofos.

Great guy. I notice people have more venom for him than the 'liberal' leaders who plundered Pakistan and left it destitute.

 

[YeBeWarned]

i thought you left Mr. Baig

I am here until the news of F-16's and Zulu's become official

 

[El Sidd]

Did Zia have anything to do with these?

 

[YeBeWarned]

ooh so you are saying we should not be nuclear?

Because he is the person who completed our nuclear deterrence otherwise no other Govt can complete it.

No, Nuclear Program would completed with or without Zia, the only reason Zia did it cause America need Pakistan for Afghan war, if not for that we could never finish our nuclear program and if we did we would be broke by sanctions . but Zia did more damage to Pakistan than America ever could ,he plague our society into Islamic extremism and everything that comes after give us Lal Masjid , TNSM , TTP , JuA and even Hizbul Tehrir .

Liberals can never be happy. Instead of blaming Zia for wrongs, these people should be asking that it has been more than 30 years since his death; why hasn't anyone right the wrongs. Musharraf should be blamed the most and then this bloody Democracy of last 10 years that has plundered this country.

Zia no doubt had made many mistakes but to blame him only for all the wrongs in this country is a travesty.

Zia's greatest accomplishment was fighting Afghan war and making Pakistan a nuclear power which has kept the strategic balance in this region.

 

[Azadkashmir]

He was a gangster, ruthless and a liar. Tortured and jailed innocent ppl.

well atleast crime was down.

Whenever a Pakistani bats for 'Islam' he automatically becomes the worst human being in the world. Remember, Islam is the greatest jahalath in the world. He is worse than the modern democrats who have stolen billions from the country and left it broken.

 

[BATMAN]

The worst there was in my opinion.

You may have an opinion but there is no sense in giving any value to such ground less opinion. Unless you have some personal issues, which you don't want to bring to public domain.

No, Nuclear Program would completed with or without Zia

Never... without Zia Pakistanis can't build Islamabad Airport in 10 years another example is Peshawar Metro.
All what Iranian friends in Pakistan did after killing Zia and team, was to gift Pakistan's nuclear program to India via Iran.

High growth rate...more like higher dose of steroids. All growth was due to USAID to fight Soviets.

Pakistan's nuclear program was started around 1974 or 75, and there was NO progress what so ever in the first few years according to Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan (in his interview), Zia ul Haq took charge in 1977 and only THEN the work on pakistan's nuclear program got accelerated and by 1984 Pakistan had already achieved the ability to make nuclear weapon according to the architect of Pakistan's nuclear program Dr. Abdul Qadeer. Dr. Qadeer clearly stated that the biggest contribution/achievements for nuclear weapons were made ONLY in Zia ul Haq's time under his patronage. He said Gen. Zia made everything available to them that they needed, every kind of technologies/spare parts from black markets etc. The nuclear weapon was NOT made "innocently" that ZA Bhutto started and then it automatically came into "existence".

These things were present everywhere else also,Heroin was problem long before Zia.First crack down on CDL's was started in 1978.

As a followup of Zia and team's killing, a new version of Islam was introduced in Pakistan.
Which can't be termed as natural course.
